The final text writing and layout are done in MS Word. I've looked for years for a quality graphing program, and GeoGebra is the best choice I've found. I also like it since it's possible to do quite a bit of geometry with it as well. Good luck with your students! - Mr. L Hi Colin,

Or did you have them use another piece of software for the labeling and layout. Is there an easier to use graphing program for middle school that you would recommend? Thanks for any help, and the very inspiring student work! Mr. L,
I saw your student’s work in your picasa gallery.

Is there an easier to use graphing program for middle school that you would recommend?

Thanks for any help, and the very inspiring student work!

The two most popular are Number Sense and The Language of Math. Number Sense can be used to develop skills in calculating, but more importantly, inquiring minds. The Language of math is a universal book since it allows the teacher to see how to incorporate language into the classroom in a simple, easily managed way. By using these two books over a period of time you will find yourself becoming a more inventive, creative teacher. Best wishes, -Mr. L Hi Tim,

The random point of interest here --> I am also known as "Mr. L" to younger students [teens]. So, from Mr. L (east coast) to Mr. L (west coast) -- Happy New Year! I look forward to reading more of your work and gladly defer the official Mr. L moniker to you ! Peace, Ed Mr. L –
